Listen for:

• Have I lapped through "uncool" and back to "cool"?
• How do we imagine and create what we want for our lives?
• How did my practices serve me through the worst moment of my life?
• How do we just sit with our feelings?! And why should we?
• Where does true self care (what I call "firebuilding") begin?
• What makes us come alive?
• How do we allow ourselves to be seen and also known?
• How do we show up as ourselves in relationship with others?
• Whatever "here" is for you, how can you be in it with all of yourself?
